weird cactid / net-snmp problem - *edit: fixed*

[joenobody]

This is weird - for every version of cactid > 0.8.6d
I get no graph data and the following persistent directory errors:

Code: Select all

CACTID: Using cactid config file [cactid.conf]
CACTID: Version 0.8.6f starting
No log handling enabled - turning on stderr logging
Creating directory: /var
Failed to create the persistent directory for /var/net-snmp/cactid.conf

CACTID: Execution Time: 2.3260 s, Threads: 1, Hosts: 3

cmd.php works fine, as does cactid 0.8.6d and below
I'm running:

• Win2k Server
  cacti 0.8.6g w/ patches
  mysql 4.1.14-nt
  PHP 4.3.8
  RRDtool 1.2.11

I must be missing something simple here. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe

1) Did you compile cactid or download it?
2) Do you have a basic install of Cygwin installed?
3) Are your hosts snmp 2c/3 ?
4) cactid.conf live in the same dir as cactid.exe ?

Update your net-snmp libraries and source to 5.2.1.x and re-make Cactid.

Ah - I had remnants of an old cygwin install mucking up the system.
Thorough cleaning has fixed it.
Cheers!

On a side note, any clue why a Cisco 2916 would send snmp v2 traps, but only respond to v1 requests? Doesn't matter really - working fine w/ v1, just curious...
